Enter non breaking spaces like this: Coka Cola, i.e.

Sprite

Soft drink, too sweet

Coka Cola

Soft drink, way too sweet

This is what I was looking for. Thank you. Jeff Taylor

I don't understand, you can't create a WikiWord with a non-breaking space, the form strips them out. I ended up with a term called CokanbspCola. Am I misunderstanding your definition of "definition"?

The original question was not very clear, but it is just about doing a definition-style list, using the syntax:

   Something: its definition

Something

its definition

The question was, what if 'something' is actually two words - the answer is to use   to glue the words together with a non-breaking space HTML entity.

I would create a glossary as follows:

1) Create a page with the name of the full term "ApplicationControlBroker"

%STARTINCLUDE %

*ApplicationControlBroker*

short description goes here

%STOPINCLUDE %

long description goes here

2) Create a page called ACB

ACB: See ApplicationControlBroker

3) Add an entry in the glossary

<TR>
<TD> ACB </TD> <TD>%INCLUDE{ApplicationControlBroker} % </TD>
</TR>

This will then appear as:

You can then click on ApplicationControlBroker to get to the long definition.

(PS. Remove the space before the trailing % to enable the desired effect)
